Sorry it was my mistake in render method i had given Platform.OS = 'android' instead of Platform.OS == 'android' so after the render method when the componentDidMount is called the Platform.OS was assigned as android

@compojoom yes android works fine as expected. the same code when i try to run for ios is giving the android output instead of ios output

I tried removing the node modules and installing it again . Teminated react packager and started all over . Clean & Build also restarting xcode also didn’t help.
